About Us

Since 1970, the St. Mary Medical Center Foundation has worked to raise funds and cultivate other resources to support life-saving programs at St. Mary Medical Center. Our Board of Trustees and our staff seek to encourage awareness of the ongoing needs of our hospital, and to assist St. Mary in attaining its goals and objectives.

The St. Mary Medical Center Foundation’s Board of Trustees is comprised of 50 community leaders and physicians who are dedicated to providing the excellent medical care which St. Mary has been so proud of for over 90 years.

Through ongoing campaigns, annual appeals, special events and generous unsolicited contributions, the Foundation is able to fund capital improvements, equipment, programs and services, research and education at St. Mary.
